England, 1960. As a closely kept secret threatens to swallow Liv Sutton whole, she finds solace in her best friend, Theo Callaghan, and his rising band. And as the gritty music scene pulls Liv and Theo into smoky clubs, ambition, and tangled dreams, something shifts between them. Friendship with Theo begins falling into something deeper, risking everything they've built together. She's been surviving for years, and falling for her best friend might ruin the only safe thing she has left. (Extended Summary Inside) Updates every Sunday . . . . "You know I sleep better when I'm with you," I whispered, my mind groggy as my muscles finally loosened. "I know," Theo said, his breath hot against my neck. His steady breathing and tight hold were already lulling me to sleep. And I wasn't sure if I dreamed his last words, but it sounded like he whispered, "I sleep better with you, too." . . . . This is a mature story, and as such, there is swearing, shagging, minor drug use, violence, angst, and explicit adult situations (all characters will be over 18). Please note the *trigger warning* for physical abuse in the early chapters. I do promise that happier times follow. . . . . Comments, feedback, and votes are always very much appreciated.

[Updates Weekly-ish] 💍An arranged marriage, billionaire, enemies to lovers romance 📚When her one night stand turns out to be her sworn enemy...and the man she's been arranged to marry 🔥Rated R for mature sexual content and graphic language • 18+ *** Cyrus Montgomery is my sworn enemy...even though I've never met him. While industry magazines love to praise him and his fake lab diamond company for "saving the earth", I can see through the facade--Cyrus is a big kid with way too much money who gets high off of spewing lies and cutting others down. Never in my life did I imagine I'd end up here: agreeing to marry him in order to save my family's natural diamond legacy from ruin. In theory, it should be simple. Through the marriage, I'd get my projects funded and the business carried on the backs of many generations would stay afloat. All I have to do is keep my distance, survive the charade, and send Cyrus a cut of the profits. But, everything changes when I finally meet the man. Turns out, my enemy is the same anonymous stranger I spent one reckless, unforgettable night with. Now he's not just the man I'm forced to marry. He's the man I can't stop thinking about...A constant reminder of the one night I came alive. This war for diamonds might just fail before it even starts.
